MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 Released
Apple has released MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0, which "provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models."
While Apple does not elaborate on the contents of the update, an analysis of the update package indicates that it contains improvements to the graphics subsystem, with updated nVidia graphics drivers and some updated OpenGL components.
Some initial benchmarks of the updated MacBook Pros had indicated some graphics scores lower than its predecesor. This had been speculated to be caused by faulty graphics drivers. This update would seem to be an attempt at correcting these issues.

I saw this in my update tool today, any clue what it does?
Link to Apple
If we knew... it would be from the link.
BTW, you might want to fix up the link, you have the URL and name backwards. (I fixed the version in my reply)

The OpenGL framework appears to be updated according to my system profiler!
I am downloading it now. Still waiting for the Optimizing to finish.
The OpenGL framework update would be great. Comparing xbench benchmarks between my 2.2 MBP and my brothers 2.16 MBP... I beat him on everything except the OpenGL test.

The default LCD Color Profile was also updated!
I just switched it from my own calibration and it looks much better than it did with the default color profile that the MBPs (SR) shipped with!

OpenGL/video driver updates are much welcomed - Aperture has been super-crashy for me since upgrading from my old Powerbook to the new MBP, and the crash log pointed to calls in the GeForce OpenGL driver.
Fingers crossed this resolves the issue (and if so, thanks Apple for not forcing us to wait for Leopard).

IT's true BS that Apple doesn't provide more information about this update. They must be hiding something....

What we know so far:
Update to the OpenGL Framework
Update to the Default Color LCD profile
I am also noticing that my MBP is running quite a bit cooler now as well.
